    Thank you note to Qwerty

    I want to express my sincere thankfulness to Qwerty for mentoring me. He has profoundly influenced my thinking and in a way also my personality. His approach of viewing the market is perhaps most sensible, so I am very thankful that I had him as my mentor and not anyone else. Although we have...

    Why do we not have this?

    Yes, good idea. You should dedicate a website for that and expand it with firms internationally.

    Thou Shall Not Lose

    Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. They have helped me to shed more light on this psychological issue and come up with ideas. As some of you have suggested, it is really important to stop for the day if things just do not work out instead of digging the hole deeper. I also wanted...

    Thou Shall Not Lose

    I'm writing this because I have a problem with my emotions. I am honest, and there might be a few of you who have a similar issue. Over several months of screen time and close examination of intraday charts I have been able to construct my own simple strategy which has yielded great consistency...

    Nikkei vs. TOPIX Liquidity

    Which of the two mini futures is more liquid? I could not find any volume data on the Japanese exchange's site. I was wondering if they have the same phenomenon like in the US where the DJIA is the most prominent while the S&P is the most traded.

    tecnical trading, why it works, and why not

    Give it up and don't even bother trying to convince him. It is like persuading someone to switch from PC to Mac. He has to be open-minded enough to see and try it for himself.

    Question on ETFs of other countries

    Buy them at their local exchanges. I own some of iShares Nikkei and bought them directly at the Tokyo Stock Exchange. They move just like the index. An up day in the Nikkei is an up day for my portfolio and vice versa. If you look at the big picture, however, the world still looks at Wall...

    Is it true that successful trader is very thrifty?

    That's right. There are basically two reasons that I can think of why both traders and investors are unbelievably thrifty. Trader: He is thrifty due to the fear of future loss and therefore avoids to spend money on items he does not need every day. He spends his money wisely on assets for...

    Profitability Question and Example

    The bigger question will be: can you handle the $70,000 or so worth of market value that the S&P futures trade at currently? Futures are a mammoth to a beginning trader and can wipe out a small account in a matter of days. It doesn't take long to learn because they move like any other market...

    Profitability Question and Example

    Are you German? Funny user name that you chose. 1) The brokerage commission or transaction fee is subtracted immediately once the trade is executed. If you buy 100 shares at $5 and sell it at $6 it would yield you a net profit of $80 ($600 - $500 - twice $10 fee). 2) Only the profit is...
